Englishmen go crazy for slim and well-dressed women. They also do not like their women too tall, but have the ideal height measurement of 5’7” for the perfect tallness. Traditionally preferring large eyes, slender cheekbones and slim noses and collarbones, an ‘English Rose’ was someone with fair skin and rosy cheeks, though nowadays the large parts of the UK are so multicultural for such a small place, that standards of beauty are extremely varied. With Brexit on the rise, you can be sure that the traditional British beauty standards will be far more popular.

The Filipino beauty standard prescribes small foreheads framed by lengthy dark hair and sharp jaws. They are crazy about petite and slim women that are well-endowed in the chest area. This is a sunny and warm country, but they prefer their women to sit indoors as much as possible, given their worship of pale skin. This ideal contrasts wildly with the majority of the population’s darker skin.
